Paving & Concrete Base Preparation
Excavation, granular base and compaction for asphalt paving and concrete crews. We build the base to grade so your crew can show up and pave.
- Built to your elevations
- Compacted in lifts
- Scheduled around your crew
For paving & concrete companies
The Base Is Everything Under the Surface
Asphalt and concrete are only as good as what is under them. A soft or poorly graded base means cracking, heaving and puddles within a few seasons. More and more paving and concrete companies hand the base work to us so their crews can stay focused on placing material.
We excavate to depth, remove unsuitable material, place and compact granular base, and fine-grade to your elevations. We schedule around your pour or paving date.
Base prep for
- Asphalt parking lots and driveways
- Concrete slabs, pads and sidewalks

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work as a sub to paving and concrete companies?
Yes. That is a large share of this work. We build the base and hand it off at grade so your crew can start.
What base material do you use?
It depends on the application and the spec. We commonly place and compact crushed granular base and can match the material your engineer or spec calls for.
Can you remove the old asphalt or concrete first?
Yes. We break out and haul away old asphalt and concrete as part of the job.
Can you meet a set pour or paving date?
Tell us the date when you request a quote. We schedule base prep around it and let you know early if weather affects the plan.
